Hey, guys! What's up? Long time no see! Please put down your torches and pitchforks for now?
As I've mentioned before, Discord is a GREAT tool for communication. Every time someone pings me there, I try to respond as fast as I can. It's been our first source of communication and I've been using Patreon for meaningful announcements instead. I think that's how to use these tools to the fullest. Quick back-and-forth on Discord, big pronunciations here.
I can't stress this enough; it's ALWAYS okay for you guys to ping me there when you have legit questions. Even for a few gags sometimes.
So, as we've discussed there. I'll try to improve my communication. We've spent hours discussing this, and one suggestion that came up repeatedly was the possibility of making dev logs. Showing what's being done in the week. Any troubles or setbacks. The scenes that are being worked on. What's been finished. Etc. I honestly had no idea how to do this without spoiling events. But I've studied a bit, and you guys gave me great examples of dev logs and I think we can work something out. So, without further ado, let's talk about the update and the dev logs.
Dev Logs will be made every Saturday. I'll try not to give any names for the scenes so it doesn't spoil anything.
Render Progress:
- Jasmin & Julie Neighborhood scene: 100%
- Jasmin Scene: 100%
- Household Scene: 100% (The update was supposed to end here before I decided to rework and expand it...)
- Sophia Scene: 100%
- Household Return Scene: 100%
- Sophia Scene: 87% (Different Scene with Sophia)
- Sleep Scene: 0%
Animations Progress:
- 80% (I'm reworking some animations. They're technically done and finished. But I'm giving some space for inspiration if I want to add more animations or rework them if I think there are better ways to do them.)

- Jasmin & Julie Neighborhood scene: 100%
- Jasmin Scene: 100%
- Household Scene: 100%

Thoughts for consideration:
I wanted to add a scene with Asuna in this update.
I'll probably leave it for another opportunity. It was a really cool Julie/Asuna scene and I'll definitely put a pin on it. I haven't had the opportunity to add more of Ashley to the story so far. Especially because I needed to finish this "storyline" with Jasmin first. So I can FINALLY focus on her in the next update. I won't give any more spoilers. We're very close to the release date, but I'm not going to commit to a release date just yet. If I continue giving release dates and delaying them, then it means nothing. I want to do this right for once. I'm DEEPLY sorry for the delay, AGAIN. I seem to have a habit of delaying even when there's no obvious crisis (unlike that freaking volcano situation!) because every time I replay the game I see something I could tweak, and when I see it, it's become a snowball.
The good news, though, is that we'll have way more communication from now on, thanks to your feedback on Discord. By the way, I'm always open to feedback. If you have any suggestions to make, go right ahead! Here or privately. Another good news is that it's a delay for a delay, I've more than doubled the content. So I guess it's a win-lose situation? We win because it's more content; we lose because it got delayed again
Cheers, guys! Sorry once again! Talk to you soon!
